                       I CAN NOT FIND HIM

    Each  of us have had our times of uncertainty about  our relationship
with the Lord-- wondering why God is silent when  we  call upon Him.  We are
sure to  ask  ourselves what His reason is for being silent.  

    It  is  in these times that our faith has  a  chance  to grow.   We KNOW
that God will not turn His back  on  us.  The  price  of our redemption has
already been  paid  by Jesus on the Cross.

    Many times I have been able to identify with Job when he said:   Job 23:8
Behold, I go forward, but he  [is]  not [there]; and backward, but I cannot
perceive him: Job  23:9  On the left hand, where he doth work,  but  I cannot
 behold  [him]: he hideth himself  on  the  right hand, that I cannot see
[him]: 

    I  am so glad those words were preserved for us to  read over and over
again.  It is a source of strength to know that someone else has been where
we are.

    Though  Job could not feel nor see the presence of  God, there  was one
thing he was sure of.  We can be sure  of the same thing.  Listen to him as
he says: Job 23:10 BUT HE KNOWETH THE WAY THAT I TAKE: [when]  he hath tried
me, I shall come forth as gold. 

    God  knows  where we are at all times.  He is  with  us, whether we can
"feel" Him or not.

    "Who can separate us from the Love of God?"
